Organized by the Georgetown Cricket Association (GCA) Transport Sports Club, batting first posted 205 all out from 47 overs thanks to a string of knocks from their batters.

Nehemiah Hohenkirk (46), Ewert Samuels (38) and opening batsman John Persaud (30) carried Transport in the 1st innings, as GCC were indebted to left-arm spinner Devon Lord who was amazing during his spell of 6-6.

The Bourda boys then racked up an imposing 379-3 declared, from 69 overs with a trifecta of centuries from Yeudistir Persaud 121*, Rivaldo Phillips 120 and opener Navindra Persaud 119*.

The trio of centurions broke the back of Transport lads thanks to their collective might, as Kevin Ross limped away with figures of 2-99, before his team managed to score 215-4 from 36.3 overs batting a second time to a draw.

GCC did well to recover from 25-2, thanks mainly to Yeudistir, who added huge 150-plus run partnerships alongside fellow centurion Phillips and the other Persaud, who hit 119 off 200 balls (12×4).

Phillips raced to his 2nd ton at this level, ending on 120 off 118 balls with 12 fours and six maximums, as Persaud’s assault required just 76 deliveries for his maiden 121 not out (12×4 7×6), as all three youngsters exhibited high levels of talent and technique during their respective knocks.
